SECOND: OTHERS LINGER Six Hours Voting Shows but Litte Change an Totals MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 30.—Plodding through ‘ine ballots in its first session oday, the Democratic na- tional convention found no candidate . and apparently did not prepare the ground for a break in the deadlock toward which it was heading, MeAdoo starting at 431 on the first ballot climbed during the. balloting to 444.6, while Smith. heginning at 240.5 on the first bal- lot, climbed steadily to 278 at the last session. John W. Davis, beginning at 31 votes, rose to $3. At the conclusion of the ninth ballot, the convention recessed until 8. eae 8 mets day- Nght saving” Al thelr edmipatien | m ur the various candidates declared they Were satis! with the situation, that the! results did not indicate any- thing unfavorable to them and that the balloting had verified their es- timates ef what the figures would be. The nine ballots made some !m- pression on the field of favorite son eandidates, however, by accomplish- iggy the total elimination of Gover: for Sweet of Colorado and Senator Ferris of Michigan. Senator Kend- rick of Wyoming, who was not form- ally nominated, but was voted for from the floor was eliminated. The delegates from the states of those men were were scattered among various candidates. While the balloting}went on the leaders held occasional conferences, apparently willing to let the dele- lates go on in the even tenor of thelr way while the situation was gradually shaken down. " Néne of them appeared disturbed, they all looked confident and some of them unconcerned. ) The session was wholly devold of a@n air of tension which usually marks the opening ballot of a hard fought convention contest. Neither the Smith nor McAdoo _ leaders yyould even intimate that they had reached ‘their maximum strength. They parried questions: by replying that they would not disclose their strategy. After-a session lasting al- host “eight hours the convention piled out to take dinner and return later to be at tt again. The totals for the leaders at the 1 of the ninth ballot stood 444 and six! tenths for, McAdoo; Smich, John Wy, Davis, had run up to @3.| The MeAdoo vote on the ninth was unchanged from the eighth. Smith had gained 4% votes. John Ww Davis “had gained 6. “/Dhese were th» Gigures for the ninth: Underwood, 45%; McAdoo 444 6-10, Robinson 21; Smith, John W. Davis, 63; Ritchie, 17%; Cox, 60; C. W.
